1200 MHz to 2400 MHz Quadrature Modulator with
1550 MHz to 2150 MHz Frac-N PLL and Integrated VCO
ADRF6702
Data Sheet
The integrated fractional-N PLL/synthesizer generates a 2× fLO
input to the IQ modulator. The phase detector together with an
external loop filter is used to control the VCO output. The VCO
output is applied to a quadrature divider. To reduce spurious
components, a sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) modulator controls the
programmable PLL divider.

The ADRF6702 is designed for RF outputs from 1200 MHz to
2400 MHz. The low phase noise VCO and high performance
quadrature modulator make the ADRF6702 suitable for next
generation communication systems requiring high signal
dynamic range and linearity. The integration of the IQ
modulator, PLL, and VCO provides for significant board
savings and reduces the BOM and design complexity.

Description
Power Supply Pins. The power supply voltage range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Drive all of
these pins from the same power supply voltage. Decouple each pin with 100 pF and
0.1 μF capacitors located close to the pin.
Decoupling Node for Internal 3.3 V LDO. Decouple this pin with 100 pF and 0.1 μF
capacitors located close to the pin.
Charge Pump Output Pin. Connect VTUNE to this pin through the loop filter. If
an external VCO is being used, connect the output of the loop filter to the VCO’s
voltage control pin. The PLL control loop should then be closed by routing the VCO’s
frequency output back into the ADRF6702 through the LON and LOP pins.
Ground. Connect these pins to a low impedance ground plane.
Do not connect to this pin.
Charge Pump Current. The nominal charge pump current can be set to 250 μA, 500 μA,
750 μA, or 1000 μA using DB10 and DB11 of Register 4 and by setting DB18 to 0 (CP
reference source).
In this mode, no external RSET is required. If DB18 is set to 1, the four nominal charge
pump currents (INOMINAL) can be externally tweaked according to the following
equation:

where ICP is the base charge pump current in microamps. For further details on the
charge pump current, see the Register 4—PLL Charge Pump, PFD, and Reference Path
Control section.
Reference Input. The nominal input level is 1 V p-p. Input range is 12 MHz to 160 MHz.
This pin has high input impedance and should be ac-coupled. If REFIN is being driven
by laboratory test equipment, the pin should be externally terminated with a 50 Ω
resistor (place the ac-coupling capacitor between the pin and the resistor). When
driven from an 50 Ω RF signal generator, the recommended input level is 4 dBm.
Multiplexer Output. This output allows a digital lock detect signal, a voltage
proportional to absolute temperature (VPTAT), or a buffered, frequency-scaled
reference signal to be accessed externally. The output is selected by programming
DB21 to DB23 in Register 4.
Decoupling Node for 2.5 V LDO. Connect 100 pF, 0.1 μF, and 10 μF capacitors between this
pin and ground.
Serial Data Input. The serial data input is loaded MSB first with the three LSBs being
the control bits.

Description
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock input is used to clock in the serial data to the
registers. The data is latched into the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge.
Maximum clock frequency is 20 MHz.
Latch Enable. When the LE input pin goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is
loaded into one of the six registers, the relevant latch being selected by the first three
control bits of the 24-bit word.
Modulator Output Enable/Disable. See Table 6.
Modulator Baseband Inputs. Differential in-phase and quadrature baseband inputs.
These inputs should be dc-biased to 0.5 V.
RF Output. Single-ended, 50 Ω internally biased RF output. RFOUT must be ac-coupled
to its load.
LO Select. This digital input pin determines whether the LOP and LON pins operate as
inputs or outputs. This pin should not be left floating. LOP and LON become inputs if
the LOSEL pin is set low and the LDRV bit of Register 5 is set low. External LO drive
must be a 2× LO. In addition to setting LOSEL and LDRV low and providing an external
2× LO, the LXL bit of Register 5 (DB4) must be set to 1 to direct the external LO to the
IQ modulator. LON and LOP become outputs when LOSEL is high or if the LDRV bit of
Register 5 (DB3) is set to 1. A 1× LO or 2× LO output can be selected by setting the
LDIV bit of Register 5 (DB5) to 1 or 0 respectively (see Table 7).
Local Oscillator Input/Output. The internally generated 1× LO or 2× LO is available on
these pins. When internal LO generation is disabled, an external 1× LO or 2× LO can be
applied to these pins.
VCO Control Voltage Input. This pin is driven by the output of the loop filter. Nominal
input voltage range on this pin is 1.3 V to 2.5 V. If the external VCO mode is activated,
this pin can be left open.
Decoupling Node for VCO LDO. Connect a 100 pF capacitor and a 10 μF capacitor
between this pin and ground.
Exposed Paddle. The exposed paddle should be soldered to a low impedance
ground plane.

Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADRF6702 integrates a high performance IQ modulator
with a state of the art fractional-N PLL. The ADRF6702 also
integrates a low noise VCO. The programmable SPI port allows
the user to control the fractional-N PLL functions and the
modulator optimization functions. This includes the capability
to operate with an externally applied LO or VCO.
The quadrature modulator core within the ADRF6702 is a part
of the next generation of industry-leading modulators from
Analog Devices, Inc. The baseband inputs are converted to
currents and then mixed to RF using high performance NPN
transistors. The mixer output currents are transformed to a
single-ended RF output using an integrated RF transformer
balun. The high performance active mixer core, coupled with
the low-loss RF transformer balun results in an exceptional
OIP3 and OP1dB, with a very low output noise floor for excellent dynamic range. The use of a passive transformer balun
rather than an active output stage leads to an improvement
in OIP3 with no sacrifice in noise floor. At 1960 MHz the
ADRF6702 typically provides an output P1dB of 13.6 dBm,
OIP3 of 30.1 dBm, and an output noise floor of −156.5 dBm/Hz.
Typical image rejection under these conditions is −44.4 dBc
with no additional I and Q gain compensation.
PLL + VCO
The fractional divide function of the PLL allows the frequency
multiplication value from REFIN to the LOP/LON outputs to
be a fractional value rather than restricted to an integer as in
traditional PLLs. In operation, this multiplication value is INT
+ (FRAC/MOD) where INT is the integer value, FRAC is the
fractional value, and MOD is the modulus value, all of which
are programmable via the SPI port. In previous fractional-N
PLL designs, the fractional multiplication was achieved by
periodically changing the fractional value in a deterministic
way. The downside of this was often spurious components close
to the fundamental signal. In the ADRF6702, a sigma delta
modulator is used to distribute the fractional value randomly,
thus significantly reducing the spurious content due to the
fractional function.
BASIC CONNECTIONS FOR OPERATION
Figure 35 shows the basic connections for operating the
ADRF6702 as they are implemented on the device’s evaluation
board. The seven power supply pins should be individually
decoupled using 100 pF and 0.1 μF capacitors located as close
as possible to the pins. A single 10 μF capacitor is also recommended. The three internal decoupling nodes (labeled DECL3,
DECL2, and DECL1) should be individually decoupled with
capacitors as shown in Figure 35.
The four I and Q inputs should be driven with a bias level of
500 mV. These inputs are generally dc-coupled to the outputs of
a dual DAC (see the DAC-to-IQ Modulator Interfacing and IQ
Filtering sections for more information).
A 1 V p-p (0.353 V rms) differential sine wave on the I and Q
inputs results in a single sideband output power of +4.1 dBm (at
1960 MHz) at the RFOUT pin (this pin should be ac-coupled as
shown in Figure 35). This corresponds to an IQ modulator
voltage gain of +0.1 dB.
The reference frequency for the PLL (typically 1 V p-p between
12 MHz and 160 MHz) should be applied to the REFIN pin,
which should be ac-coupled. If the REFIN pin is being driven
from a 50 Ω source (for example, a lab signal generator), the
pin should be terminated with 50 Ω as shown in Figure 35 (an
RF drive level of +4 dBm should be applied). Multiples or
fractions of the REFIN signal can be brought back off-chip at
the multiplexer output pin (MUXOUT). A lock-detect signal
and an analog voltage proportional to the ambient temperature
can also be brought out on this pin by setting the appropriate
bits on (DB21-DB23) in Register 4 (see the Register Description
section).
EXTERNAL LO
The internally generated local oscillator (LO) signal can be
brought off-chip as either a 1× LO or a 2× LO (via pins LOP
and LON) by asserting the LOSEL pin and making the appropriate internal register settings. The LO output must be disabled
whenever the RF output of the IQ modulator is disabled.
The LOP and LON pins can also be used to apply an external
LO. This can be used to bypass the internal PLL/VCO or if
operation using an external VCO is desired. To turn off the
PLL Register 6, Bits[20:17] must be zero.

LOOP FILTER
Table 8. Recommended Loop Filter Components
The loop filter is connected between the CP and VTUNE pins.
The return for the loop filter components should be to Pin 40
(DECL3). The loop filter design in Figure 35 results in a 3 dB
loop bandwidth of 130 kHz. The ADRF6702 closed loop phase
noise was also characterized using a 2.5 kHz loop filter design.
The recommended components for both filter designs are
shown in Table 8. For assistance in designing loop filters with
other characteristics, download the most recent revision of
ADIsimPLL™ from www.analog.com/adisimpll. Operation with
an external VCO is possible. In this case, the return for the loop
filter components is ground (assuming a ground reference on
the external VCO tuning input). The output of the loop filter is
connected to the external VCO’s tuning pin. The output of the
VCO is brought back into the device on the LOP and LON pins
(using a balun if necessary).

ADRF6702
Data Sheet
AD9122
The ADRF6702 is designed to interface with minimal components
to members of the Analog Devices, Inc., family of TxDACs®. These
dual-channel differential current output DACs provide an output
current swing from 0 mA to 20 mA. The interface described in
this section can be used with any DAC that has a similar output.
An example of an interface using the AD9122 TxDAC is shown
in Figure 36. The baseband inputs of the ADRF6702 require
a dc bias of 500 mV. The average output current on each of the
outputs of the AD9122 is 10 mA. Therefore, a single 50 Ω resistor to ground from each of the DAC outputs results in an average
current of 10 mA flowing through each of the resistors, thus
producing the desired 500 mV dc bias for the inputs to the
ADRF6702.

to Ground to Establish the 500 mV DC Bias for the ADRF6702 Baseband Inputs
The AD9122 output currents have a swing that ranges from
0 mA to 20 mA. With the 50 Ω resistors in place, the ac voltage
swing going into the ADRF6702 baseband inputs ranges from
0 V to 1 V (with the DAC running at 0 dBFS). So the resulting
drive signal from each differential pair is 2 V p-p differential
with a 500 mV dc bias.

Figure 37. AC Voltage Swing Reduction Through the Introduction
of a Shunt Resistor Between the Differential Pair
The value of this ac voltage swing limiting resistor (RSL as shown
in Figure 37) is chosen based on the desired ac voltage swing
and IQ modulator output power. Figure 38 shows the relationship between the swing-limiting resistor and the peak-to-peak
ac swing that it produces when 50 Ω bias-setting resistors are
used. A higher value of swing-limiting resistor will increase the
output power of the ADRF6702 and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
at the cost if higher intermodulation distortion. For most
applications, the optimum value for this resistor will be between
100 Ω and 300 Ω.
When setting the size of the swing-limiting resistor, the input
impedance of the I and Q inputs should be taken into account.
The I and Q inputs have a differential input resistance of 920 Ω.
As a result, the effective value of the swing-limiting resistance is
920 Ω in parallel with the chosen swing-limiting resistor. For
example, if a swing-limiting resistance of 200 Ω is desired
(based on Figure 37), the value of RSL should be set such that
200 Ω = (920 × RSL)/(920 + RSL)
resulting in a value for RSL of 255 Ω.
2.0
1.8
The voltage swing for a given DAC output current can be
reduced by adding a third resistor to the interface. This resistor
is placed in the shunt across each differential pair, as shown in
Figure 37. It has the effect of reducing the ac swing without
changing the dc bias already established by the 50 Ω resistors.

DEVICE PROGRAMMING AND REGISTER
SEQUENCING
The device is programmed via a 3-pin SPI port. The timing
requirements for the SPI port are shown in Table 3 and Figure 2.
Eight programmable registers, each with 24 bits, control the
operation of the device. The register functions are listed in
Table 9. The eight registers should initially be programmed
in reverse order, starting with Register 7 and finishing with
Register 0. Once all eight registers have been initially
programmed, any of the registers can be updated without any
attention to sequencing.
Software is available on the ADRF6702 product page at
www.analog.com that allows programming of the evaluation
board from a PC running Windows® XP or Windows Vista.

To operate correctly under Windows XP, Version 3.5 of
Microsoft .NET must be installed. To run the software on
a Windows 7 PC, XP emulation mode must be used (using
Virtual PC).

Unless a swing-limiting resistor of 100 Ω is chosen, the filter
must be designed to support different source and load
impedances. In addition, the differential input capacitance of
the I and Q inputs (1 pF) should be factored into the filter
design. Modern filter design tools allow for the simulation and
design of filters with differing source and load impedances as
well as inclusion of reactive load components.

RESISTANCE (Ω)
An antialiasing filter must be placed between the DAC and
modulator to filter out Nyquist images and broadband DAC
noise. The interface for setting up the biasing and ac swing
discussed in the Adding a Swing-Limiting Resistor section,
lends itself well to the introduction of such a filter. The filter
can be inserted between the dc bias setting resistors and the
ac swing-limiting resistor. Doing so establishes the input and
output impedances for the filter.

REGISTER DESCRIPTION
Integer Divide Ratio
REGISTER 0—INTEGER DIVIDE CONTROL
(DEFAULT: 0x0001C0)
The integer divide ratio bits are used to set the integer value in
Equation 2. The INT, FRAC, and MOD values make it possible
to generate output frequencies that are spaced by fractions of
the PFD frequency. The VCO frequency (fVCO) equation is
With Register 0, Bits[2:0] set to 000, the on-chip integer divide
control register is programmed as shown in Figure 41.
Divide Mode
fVCO = 2 × fPFD × (INT + (FRAC/MOD))
Divide mode determines whether fractional mode or integer
mode is used. In integer mode, the RF VCO output frequency
(fVCO) is calculated by
where:
INT is the preset integer divide ratio value (24 to 119 in
fractional mode).
MOD is the preset fractional modulus (1 to 2047).
FRAC is the preset fractional divider ratio value (0 to MOD − 1).
(1)
where:
fVCO is the output frequency of the internal VCO.
fPFD is the frequency of operation of the phase-frequency detector.
INT is the integer divide ratio value (21 to 123 in integer mode).

In this mode, no external RSET is required. If DB18 is set to 1,
the four nominal charge pump currents (INOMINAL) can be
externally tweaked according to the following equation:
⎛ 217.4 × I CP
R SET = ⎜⎜
⎝ I NOMINAL
⎞
⎟ − 37.8 Ω
⎟
⎠
(3)
where ICP is the base charge pump current in microamps.
The PFD phase offset multiplier (θPFD,OFS), which is set by
Bits[16:12] of Register 4, causes the PLL to lock with a
nominally fixed phase offset between the PFD reference signal
and the divided-down VCO signal. This phase offset is used
to linearize the PFD-to-CP transfer function and can improve
ΔΦ (deg) = 22.5
θ PFD ,OFS
I CP , MULT
(4)
The default value of the phase offset multiplier (10 × 22.5°)
should be set to a recommended value of 6 × 22.5°.
This phase offset can be either positive or negative depending
on the value of DB17 in Register 4.
The reference frequency applied to the PFD can be manipulated
using the internal reference path source. The external reference
frequency applied can be internally scaled in frequency by 2×,
1×, 0.5×, or 0.25×. This allows a broader range of reference
frequency selections while keeping the reference frequency
applied to the PFD within an acceptable range.
The device also has a MUXOUT pin that can be programmed
to output a selection of several internal signals. The default
mode is to provide a lock-detect output to allow the user to
verify when the PLL has locked to the target frequency. In
addition, several other internal signals can be passed to the
MUXOUT pin as described in Figure 35.

With Register 5, Bits[2:0] set to 101, the LO path and modulator
control register is programmed as shown in Figure 46.
The modulator output or the complete modulator can be
disabled using the modulator bias enable and modulator
output enable addresses of Register 5.
The LO port (LOP and LON pins) can be used to apply an
external 2× LO (that is, bypass internal PLL) to the IQ
modulator. A differential LO drive of 0 dBm is recommended.
The LO port can also be used as an output where a 2× LO or
1× LO can be brought out and used to drive another mixer.
The nominal output power provided at the LO port is 3 dBm.
The mode of operation of the LO port is determined by the
status of the LOSEL pin (3.3 V logic) along with the settings
in a number of internal registers (see Table 10).

REGISTER 6—VCO CONTROL AND VCO ENABLE
(DEFAULT: 0x1E2106)
REGISTER 7—EXTERNAL VCO ENABLE
With Register 7, Bits[2:0] set to 111, the external VCO control
register is programmed as shown in Figure 48.
With Register 6, Bits[2:0] set to 110, the VCO control and
enable register is programmed as shown in Figure 47.
The external VCO enable bit allows the use of an external VCO
in the PLL instead of the internal VCO. This can be advantageous
in cases where the internal VCO is not capable of providing the
desired frequency or where the internal VCO’s phase noise is
higher than desired. By setting this bit (DB22) to 1, and setting
Register 6, Bits[15:10] to 0, the internal VCO is disabled, and
the output of an external VCO can be fed into the part differentially on Pin 38 and Pin 37 (LOP and LON). Because the loop
filter is already external, the output of the loop filter simply
needs to be connected to the external VCO’s tuning voltage pin.
The VCO tuning band is normally selected automatically by the
band calibration algorithm, although the user can directly select
the VCO band using Register 6.
The VCO BS SRC bit (DB9) determines whether the result of
the calibration algorithm is used to select the VCO band or if
the band selected is based on the value in VCO band select
(DB8 to DB3).
The VCO amplitude can be controlled through Register 6. The
VCO amplitude setting can be controlled between 0 and 63. The
default value of 8 should be set to a recommended value of 63.
The internal VCOs can be disabled using Register 6.
The internal charge pump can be disabled through Register 6.
By default, the charge pump is enabled.
To turn off the PLL (for example, if the ADRF6702 is being
driven by an external LO), set Register 6, Bits[20:17] to zero.

CHARACTERIZATION SETUPS
Figure 49 and Figure 50 show characterization bench setups
used to characterize the ADRF6702. The setup shown in
Figure 49 was used to do most of the testing. An automated
VEE program was used to control equipment over the IEEE
bus. The setup was used to measure SSB, OIP2, OIP3, OP1dB,
LO, and USB NULL.
For phase noise and reference spurs measurements, see the
phase noise setup on Figure 50. Phase noise was measured on

EVALUATION BOARD
Figure 52 shows the schematic of the device’s RoHS-compliant
evaluation board. This board was designed using Rogers 4350
material to minimize losses at high frequencies. FR4 material
would also be adequate but with the slightly higher trace loss
of this material.
To operate correctly under Windows XP, Version 3.5 of
Microsoft .NET must be installed. To run the software on a
Windows 7 PC, XP emulation mode must be used (using
Virtual PC).
Whereas the on-board USB interface circuitry of the evaluation
board is powered directly from the PC, the main section of the
evaluation board requires a separate 5 V power supply.
08568-135
The evaluation board is designed to operate using the internal
VCO (default configuration) of the device or with an external
VCO. To use an external VCO, R62 and R12 should be
removed. 0 Ω resistors should be placed in R63 and R11. A
side-launched SMA connector (Johnson 142-0701-851) must
be soldered to the pad labeled VTUNE. The input of the
external VCO should be connected to the VTUNE SMA
connector and a portion of the VCO’s output should be
connected to the EXT LO SMA connector. In addition to
these hardware changes, internal register settings must also
be changed (as detailed in the Register Description section)
to enable operation with an external VCO.
Additional configuration options for the evaluation board are
described in Table 11.
The serial port of the ADRF6702 can be programmed from a
PC’s USB port (a USB cable is provided with the evaluation
board). The on-board USB interface circuitry can if desired be
bypassed by removing the 0 Ω resistors, R15, R17, and R18 (see
Figure 52) and driving the ADRF6702 serial interface through
the P3 4-pin header (P3 must be first installed, Samtec TSW104-08-G-S).
EVALUATION BOARD CONTROL SOFTWARE
USB-based programming software is available to download
from the ADRF6702 product page at www.analog.com
(Evaluation Board Software Rev 6.1.0). To install the software,
download and extract the zip file. Then run the following
installation file: ADRF6X0X_6p1p0_customer_installer.exe.
Figure 51. Control Software Opening Menu
Figure 51 shows the opening window of the software where the
user selects the device being programmed. Figure 55 shows a
screen shot of the control software’s main controls with the
default settings displayed. The text box in the bottom left corner
provides an immediate indication of whether the software is
successfully communicating with the evaluation board. If the
evaluation board is connected to the PC via the USB cable
provided and the software is successfully communicating with
the on-board USB circuitry, this text box shows the following
message: ADRF6X0X eval board connected.

Description
LO select. Switch and resistors to ground LOSEL pin. The LOSEL
pin setting in combination with internal register settings,
determines whether the LOP/LON pins function as inputs or
outputs. With the LOSEL pin grounded, register settings can
set the LOP/LON pins to be inputs or outputs.
LO input/output. An external 1× LO or 2× LO can be applied to
this single-ended input connector. Alternatively, the internal
1× or 2× LO can be brought out on this pin. The differential LO
signal on LOP and LON is converted to a single-ended signal
using a broadband 1:1 balun (Macom MABA-007159, 4.5 MHz
to 3000 MHz frequency range). The balun footprint on the
evaluation board is also designed to accommodate Johanson
baluns: 3600BL14M050 (1:1, 3.3 GHz to 3.9 GHz) and
3700BL15B050E (1:1, 3.4 GHz to 4 GHz).
Reference input. The input reference frequency for the PLL is
applied to this connector. Input resistance is set by R73 (49.9 Ω).
Multiplexer output. The REFOUT connector connects directly
to the device’s MUXOUT pin. The on-board multiplexer can
be programmed to bring out the following signals:
REFIN, 2× REFIN, REFIN/2, REFIN/4,
Temperature sensor output voltage (VPTAT),
Lock detect indicator.
Charge pump test point. The unfiltered charge pump signal
can be probed at this test point. Note that this pin should not
be probed during critical measurements such as phase noise.
Loop filter. Loop filter components.
Internal vs. external VCO. When the internal VCO is enabled,
the loop filter components connect directly to the VTUNE pin
(Pin 39) by installing a 0 Ω resistor in R62. In addition, the loop
filter components should be returned to Pin 40 (DECL3) by
installing a 0 Ω resistor in R12.
To use an external VCO, R62 should be left open. A 0 Ω resistor
should be installed in R63, and the voltage input of the VCO
should be connected to the VTUNE SMA connector. The output
of the VCO is brought back into the PLL via the LO IN/OUT SMA
connector. In addition, the loop filter components should be
returned to ground by installing a 0 Ω resistor in R11.
Loop filter return.
RSET. This pin is unused and should be left open.
Baseband input termination. Termination resistors for the
baseband filter of the DAC can be placed on R23 and R3. In
addition to terminating the baseband filters, these resistors
also scale down the baseband voltage from the DAC without
changing the bias level. These resistors are generally set in the
100 Ω to 300 Ω range.
USB circuitry bypass. The USB circuitry can be bypassed,
allowing for the serial port of the ADRF6702 to be driven
directly. P3 (Samtec TSW-104-08-G-S) must be installed, and
0 Ω resistors (R15, R17 and R18) must be removed.
